Unanswered Points
Am I wrong or is every writer who bothered to say something about the BYU-UNLV game? I'm guessing the latter, but anyway, what are "unanswered points"? Every story I read stated that BYU ran off "34 unanswered points". I've always understood that "unanswered" meant that the other team didn't score again. Of course, after BYU scored 34 straight points, UNLV *answered* with a touchdown.
They're using the term "unanswered" to mean "consecutive". How is "consecutive" unanswered? And even if I'm wrong, I *should* be right. o

But "unanswered" sounds so much more dramatic
